The European Court of Human Rights ruled that France's law criminalizing clients of sex workers doesn't violate human rights, disappointing Amnesty International who sees it as a missed chance to better safeguard sex workers from abuse and violence.
Opponents of prostitution see the ECHR ruling as a major win, despite 261 sex workers challenging the 2016 French law that fines sex buyers up to €1,500, leading to increased vulnerability to abuse and violence for sex workers.
Amnesty International criticizes the ruling and states that criminalizing sex work heightens discrimination and risks for sex workers, impacting their safety and further marginalizing them in society.
